Today’s Guest Speakers: Louis Perticone, Executive Director, ARTISANworks Rob Linton, Station Manager - Jazz 98.1 Highlights included: · Lou indicated that his hobby eventually spawned ARTISANworks, the largest art display in the country. 60% of the visitors are from outside the Rochester area. An all volunteer staff runs approximately 900 programs, mainly with a senior emphasis. It is also the only self funding art space in the country · Rob highlighted that Jazz 98.1 began in the early 70’s, based at Greece Athena High School. It is now broadcasting at 15,000 watts reaching a radius of 50 miles. The station is one of the last with a 100% jazz format, one which is not a money maker. The station survives due to an all volunteer staff, donations and fundraisers. · The 2nd Annual Art Loves Jazz will be held on May 17th. Tickets are $30/person. The event will include a live art auction, a non-art silent auction, and will include 3 jazz ensembles.
50/50 Winner: Dan Richardson did not select the ace!
Fining (Don Riley): A variety of fines were levied, some for legitimate “violations” and some with, shall we say, creative license. ~$125 was collected.
